This provides a single reference point for all zulip.conf settings;
these mostly link out to the more complete documentation about each
setting, elsewhere.
Fixes#12490.
There is only one PostgreSQL database; the "appdb" is irrelevant.
Also use "postgresql," as it is the name of the software, whereas
"postgres" the name of the binary and colloquial name. This is minor
cleanup, but enabled by the other renames in the previous commit.
This moves the puppet configuration closer to the "roles and profiles
method"[1] which is suggested for organizing puppet classes. Notably,
here it makes clear which classes are meant to be able to stand alone
as deployments.
Shims are left behind at the previous names, for compatibility with
existing `zulip.conf` files when upgrading.

This also removes direct includes of `zulip::common`, making
`zulip::base` gatekeep the inclusion of it. This helps enforce that
any top-level deploy only needs include a single class, and that any
configuration which is not meant to be deployed by itself will not
apply, due to lack of `zulip::common` include.
The following commit will better differentiate these top-level deploys
by moving them into a subdirectory.
Restarting servers is what can cause service interruptions, and
increase risk. Add all of the servers that we use to the list of
ignored packages, and uncomment the default allowed-origins in order
to enable unattended upgrades.
d2aa81858c replaced the `apt::source` to set up debathena with
`Exec['setup-apt-repo-debathena']`, but mistakenly left the
`apt::source` in place in `zmirror` (but not `zmirror_personals`).
The `apt::source` resource type was later removed in c9d54f7854,
making the manifest to apply on `zmirror`.
Remove the broken and unnecessary `apt::source` resource.
This property is not related to the base zulip install; move it to
zulip::postgres_common, which is already used as a namespace for
various postgres variables.
There was likely more dependency complexity prior to 97766102df, but
there is now no reason to require that consumers explicitly include
zulip::apt_repository.
Use https://github.com/stripe/smokescreen to provide a server for an
outgoing proxy, run under supervisor. This will allow centralized
blocking of internal metadata IPs, localhost, and so forth, as well as
providing default request timeouts (10s by default).
We should eventually add templating for the set of hosts here, but
it's worth merging this change to remove the deleted hostname and
replace it with the current one.
Disabled on webservers in 047817b6b0, it has since lingered in
configuration, as well as running (to no effect) every minute on the
loadbalancer.
Remove the vestiges of its configuration.
This banner shows on lb1, advertising itself as lb0. There is no
compelling reason for a custom motd, especially one which needs to
be reconfigured for each host.
Since this was using repead individual get() calls previously, it
could not be monitored for having a consumer. Add it in, by marking
it of queue type "consumer" (the default), and adding Nagios lines for
it.
Also adjust missedmessage_emails to be monitored; it stopped using
LoopQueueProcessingWorker in 5cec566cb9, but was never added back
into the set of monitored consumers.
The rabbitmq cron jobs exist in order to call rabbitmqctl as root and
write the output to files that nagios can consume, since nagios is not
allowed to run rabbitmqctl.
In systems which do not have nagios configured, these every-minute
cron jobs add non-insignificant load, to no effect. Move their
installation into `zulip_ops`. In doing so, also combine the cron.d
files into a single file; this allows us to `ensure => absent` the old
filenames, removing them from existing systems. Leave the resulting
combined cron.d file in `zulip`, since it is still of general utility
and note.
7d4a370a57 attempted to move the replication check to on the
PostgreSQL hosts. While it updated the _check_ to assume it was
running and talking to a local PostgreSQL instance, the configuration
and installation for the check were not updated. As such, the check
ran on the nagios host for each DB host, and produced no output.
Start distributing the check to all apopdb hosts, and configure nagios
to use the SSH tunnel to get there.
wal-g was used in `puppet/zulip` by env-wal-g, but only installed in
`puppet/zulip_ops`.
Merge all of the dependencies of doing backups using wal-g (wal-g
installation, the pg_backup_and_purge job, the nagios plugin that
verifies it happens) into a common base class in `puppet/zulip`, since
it is generally useful.
No plugins are installed inside the /usr/local/munin/lib this creates
in munin-node, nor are they symlinked into /etc/munin/plugins, so
non-default plugins are added by this.
The one complexity is that hosts_fullstack are treated differently, as
they are not currently found in the manual `hosts` list, and as such
do not get munin monitoring.
check_memcached does not support memcached authentication even in its
latest release (it’s in a TODO item comment, and that’s it), and was
never particularly useful.
In Bionic, nagios-plugins-basic is a transitional package which
depends on monitoring-plugins-basic. In Focal, it is a virtual
package, which means that every time puppet runs, it tries to
re-install the nagios-plugins-basic package.
Switch all instances to referring to `$zulip::common::nagios_plugins`,
and repoint that to monitoring-plugins-basic.
Support for Xenial and Stretch was removed (5154ddafca, 0f4b1076ad,
8944e0ad53, 79acd5ae40, 1219a2e854), but not all codepaths were
updated to remove their conditionals on it.
Remove all code predicated on Xenial or Stretch. debathena support
was migrated to Bionic, since that appears to be the current state of
existing debathena servers.
Since 9e8f1aacb3, zulip_ops machines
might have two Package declarations for `certbot`, which doesn't work
in puppet.
The fix is, as usual, to use our `zulip::safepackage` wrapper instead.
The style guide for Zulip is to always use "primary" and "replica"
when describing database replication. Adjust a few comments under
`puppet/` that do not adhere to this.
Unfortunately, some references still remain to the insensitive and
inaccurate "master" / "slave" terminology. However, these are only in
files which we are attempting to preserve as close to the upstream
versions they are derived from (e.g. postgresql.conf,
postfix/master.cf).
65774e1c4f switched from using the bundled check_postgres.pl to using
the version from packages; the file itself remained, however.
Remove it, and clean up references to it.
Fixes#15389.
Instead of SSH'ing around to them, run directly on the database hosts.
This means that the replicas do not know how many bytes behind they
are in _receiving_ the wall logs; thus, the monitoring also extends to
the primary database, which knows that information for each replica.
This also allows for detecting when there are too few active replicas.
Use read-only types (List ↦ Sequence, Dict ↦ Mapping, Set ↦
AbstractSet) to guard against accidental mutation of the default

All differences between the primary and replica roles having been
merged, fold the `postgres_common`, `postgres_master`, and
`postgres_slave` roles into just `postgres_appdb`.
These values differed between the primary and secondary database
hosts, for unclear reasons. The differences date back to their
introduction in 387f63deaa. As the comment in the replica
confguration notes, settings of `vm.dirty_ratio = 10` and
`vm.dirty_background_ratio = 5` matched the kernel defaults for
"newer" kernels; however, kernel 2.6.30 bumped those to 20 and 10,
respectively[1], as a fix for underlying logic now being more correct.
Remove these overrides; they should at very least be consistent across
roles, and the previous values look to be an attempt to tune for a
very much older version of the Linux kernel, which was using an
different, buggier, algorithm under the hood.

This file controls streaming replication, and recovery using wal-g on
the secondary. The `primary_conninfo` data needs to change on short
notice when database failover happens, in a way that is not suitable
for being controlled by puppet.
PostgreSQL 12, in fact, removes the use of the `recovery.conf` file[1];
the `primary_conninfo` and `restore_command` information goes into the
main `postgresql.conf` file, and the standby status is controlled by
the presence of absence of an empty `standby.signal` file.
Remove the puppet control of the `recovery.conf` file.

Since the nagios authentication is stored _in the database_, it is
unnecessary to run if the database is simply a replica of the
production database. The only case in which this statement would have
an effect is if the postgres node contains a _different_ (or empty)
database, which `setup_disks` now effectively prevents.
Remove the unnecessary step.
481613a344 updated the `setup_disks` script to no longer reference
`mdadm`, since we no longer set up RAID on servers.
Update the puppet that would call it to remove the `mdadm` dependency,
and run only if the state is not what it produces -- namely, a symlink
for `/var/lib/postgresql`, which must point to an existent
`/srv/postgresql` directory.
The end state it produces is _either_:
- `/srv/postgresql` already existed, which was symlinked into
`/var/lib/postgresql`; postgres is left untouched. This is the
situation if `setup_disks` is run on the database primary, or a
replica which was correctly configured.
- An empty `/srv/postgresql` now exists, symlinked into
`/var/lib/postgresql`, and postgres is stopped. This is the
situation if `puppet` was just run on a new host, or a
previously-configured host was rebooted (clearing the temporary
disk in `/dev/nvme0`)
In the latter case, where `/srv/postgresql` is now empty, any previous
contents of `/var/lib/postgresql` are placed under `/root`,
timestamped for uniqueness.
In either case, the tool should now be idempotent.
As the previous commit, this is currently only used in tuning, but is
a property of the whole postgres configuration; move it there, as just
the directory, not the file.
Use this directory consistently in the erb templates. Since we
produce a `pg_hba.conf`, it makes sense that we point to the path that we
know that we explicitly wrote to, for instance.
Fixes#2665.

1f565a9f41 removed the `package` lines which install
`python-dateutil`, but not the line in `puppet_ops` that reference it;

This is vestigial.
It requires manually altering the `htdigest` file (not stored in this

Drop the change to move `/tmp` onto the local disk. Doing this move
confuses `resolved` until there is a restart, and has no clear
benefits. The change came in during bf82fadc95, but does not describe
the reasoning; it is particularly puzzling, since postgresql stores
its temporary files under `$PGDATA/base/pgsql_tmp`.
Do not RAID the disks together. This was previously done when they
were spinning media, for reliability; running them on an SSD obviates
this sufficiently. This means that updating the initramfs is also not
necessary.
This no longer has any rules specific to it. We leave the `postgres`
munin group (which now only contains `postgres_appdb`) as
future-proofing, and so that `postgres_appdb` matches to the puppet
manifest of the same name.
This allows straight-forward configuration of realm-based Tornado
sharding through simply editing /etc/zulip/zulip.conf to configure
shards and running scripts/refresh-sharding-and-restart.

Using the `host` virtual package confused Puppet into reporting it was
doing work every time one did a puppet run, resulting in unnecessarily
spammy output.
While this functionality to post slow queries to a Zulip stream was
very useful in the early days of Zulip, when there were only a few
hundred accounts, it's long since been useless since (1) the total
request volume on larger Zulip servers run by Zulip developers, and
(2) other server operators don't want real-time notifications of slow
backend queries. The right structure for this is just a log file.
We get rid of the queue and replace it with a "zulip.slow_queries"
logger, which will still log to /var/log/zulip/slow_queries.log for
ease of access to this information and propagate to the other logging
handlers. Reducing the amount of queues is good for lowering zulip's
memory footprint and restart performance, since we run at least one
dedicated queue worker process for each one in most configurations.
We could anchor the regexes, but there’s no need for the power (and
responsibility) of regexes here.

"Zulip Voyager" was a name invented during the Hack Week to open
source Zulip for what a single-system Zulip server might be called, as
a Star Trek pun on the code it was based on, "Zulip Enterprise".
At the time, we just needed a name quickly, but it was never a good
name, just a placeholder. This removes that placeholder name from
much of the codebase. A bit more work will be required to transition
the `zulip::voyager` Puppet class, as that has some migration work
involved.
This legacy cross-realm bot hasn't been used in several years, as far
as I know. If we wanted to re-introduce it, I'd want to implement it
as an embedded bot using those common APIs, rather than the totally
custom hacky code used for it that involves unnecessary queue workers
and similar details.
Fixes#13533.
Zulip has had a small use of WebSockets (specifically, for the code
path of sending messages, via the webapp only) since ~2013. We
originally added this use of WebSockets in the hope that the latency
benefits of doing so would allow us to avoid implementing a markdown
local echo; they were not. Further, HTTP/2 may have eliminated the
latency difference we hoped to exploit by using WebSockets in any
case.
While we’d originally imagined using WebSockets for other endpoints,
there was never a good justification for moving more components to the
WebSockets system.
This WebSockets code path had a lot of downsides/complexity,
including:
* The messy hack involving constructing an emulated request object to
hook into doing Django requests.
* The `message_senders` queue processor system, which increases RAM
needs and must be provisioned independently from the rest of the
server).
* A duplicate check_send_receive_time Nagios test specific to
WebSockets.
* The requirement for users to have their firewalls/NATs allow
WebSocket connections, and a setting to disable them for networks
where WebSockets don’t work.
* Dependencies on the SockJS family of libraries, which has at times
been poorly maintained, and periodically throws random JavaScript
exceptions in our production environments without a deep enough
traceback to effectively investigate.
* A total of about 1600 lines of our code related to the feature.
* Increased load on the Tornado system, especially around a Zulip
server restart, and especially for large installations like
zulipchat.com, resulting in extra delay before messages can be sent
again.
As detailed in
https://github.com/zulip/zulip/pull/12862#issuecomment-536152397, it
appears that removing WebSockets moderately increases the time it
takes for the `send_message` API query to return from the server, but
does not significantly change the time between when a message is sent
and when it is received by clients. We don’t understand the reason
for that change (suggesting the possibility of a measurement error),
and even if it is a real change, we consider that potential small
latency regression to be acceptable.
If we later want WebSockets, we’ll likely want to just use Django
Channels.

This has been a spurious alert for a long time.
It's unclear that this check is useful at all, but if it spikes
dramatically above what's normal, there's perhaps still utility in
being alerted.
Since LoopQueueProcessingWorker jobs cannot be monitored by checking
for connected consumers (since they poll, rather than consuming as
events arrive), they can't be monitored with check_consumers. It's
OK, because that monitoring was redundant with monitoring for
potential growth in their queue that we have as well.
Also clean up the block comments for the two other similar queue
procesors.

The construction `su postgres -c -- bash -c 'psql …'` didn’t behave the
way it reads, and only worked by accident:
1. `-c --` sets the command to `--`.
2. `bash` sets the first argument to `bash`.
3. `-c 'psql …'` replaces the command with `psql …`.
Thus, `su` ended up executing `<shell> -c 'psql …' bash`, where
`<shell>` is the `postgres` user’s login shell, usually also `bash`,
which then executed 'psql …' and ignored the extra `bash`.
Unconfuse this construction.

It hasn't been working for years, but more importantly, it spams up
root's mail queue so that one can't find important things in there
(e.g. the fact that the long-term-idle cron job was failing).
This should be a nice performance improvement for browsers that
support it.
We can't yet enabled this in the Zulip on-premise nginx configuration,
because that still has to support Trusty.
Apparently, `puppet-lint` on Ubuntu trusty throws warnings for certain
quoting patterns that are OK in modern `puppet-lint`. I believe the
old Zulip code was actually correct (i.e. the old `puppet-lint`
implementation was the problem), but it seems worth changing anyway to
suppress the warnings.
We also exclude more of puppet-apt from linting, since it's
third-party code.
We fix these by adding ignore statements in a bunch of files
where this error popped up. We target only specific lines using
the ignore statements and not the entire files.

As part of our effort to change the data model away from each user
having a single API key, we're eliminating the couple requests that
were made from Django to Tornado (as part of a /register or home
request) where we used the user's API key grabbed from the database
for authentication.
Instead, we use the (already existing) internal_notify_view
authentication mechanism, which uses the SHARED_SECRET setting for
security, for these requests, and just fetch the user object using
get_user_profile_by_id directly.
Tweaked by Yago to include the new /api/v1/events/internal endpoint in
the exempt_patterns list in test_helpers, since it's an endpoint we call
through Tornado. Also added a couple missing return type annotations.
We can't really do this in the zulip manifests (since it's sorta a
sysadmin policy decision), but these scripts can cause significant
load when Nagios logs into a server (because many of them take 50ms or
more of work to run). So we just get rid of them.
Running this on additional machines would be redundant; additionally,
the FillState checker cron job runs only on cron systems, so this will
crash on other app frontends.
While this is a different system than I'd written up in #8004, I think
this is a better solution to the general problem of cron jobs to run
on just one server.
Fixes#8004.
Revert c8f034e9a "queue: Remove missedmessage_email_senders code."
As the comment in the code says, it ensures a smooth upgrade path
from 1.7.x; we can delete it in master after 1.8.0 is released.
The removal commit was merged early due to a communication failure.
This should make it possible to use the zulip_ops base rules
successfully on chat.zulip.org. Many of the changes in this commit
are hacks and probably can be cleaned up later, but given that we plan
to drop trusty support soon, it's likely that most of them will simply
be deleted then.
This doesn't yet pass all Nagios checks correctly, and still has a few
flaws:
* The ideal setup code for the `nagios` user in the database isn't included.
* Some of the other details are a bit off; we need to split some host roles.
But it's better than nothing, and we can iterate from here.
This commit just copies all the code from MissedMessageSendingWorker
class to a new EmailSendingWorker class. All the logic to send an email
through a queue was already there. This commit only makes the logic
generic. It does so by creating a special purpose queue called
'email_senders' to send any type of email. To make
MissedMessageSendingWorker still work we derive it from
EmailSendingWorker. All the tests that were testing
MissedMessageSendingWorker now run against EmailSendingWorker.
This fixes a bug where, when a user is unsubscribed from a stream,
they might have unread messages on that stream leak. While it might
seem to be a minor problem, it can cause significant problems for
computing the `unread_msgs` data structures, since it means we need to
add an extra filter for whether the user is still subscribed, either
in the backend or in the UI.
Fixes#7095.
Sparkle was the auto-update system used by the legacy desktop app. We
haven't been capable of using it for auto-update in years, so there's
no reason to keep around the configuration.
The new Electron app uses a different system anyway.
Whatever dist/ functionality this had in 2014 is now served by
zulip.org, and since this serves as a sample, it should be as simple
as possible.
Previously, this was more cluttered than it needed to be.
This allows the Nagios user to access redis without having full access
to the redis system. Ideally, this would eventually use a password
that only has statistics read access, but I'm not sure redis supports
that.
This old puppet configuration was never really used, and regardless
hardcoded an ancient zulip.net hostname. We fix this to use the
zulipconf system to get the host domain (though not, at present, the
hostname).
If a machine is configured with no swap intentationally, that
shouldn't be a Nagios problem. This alert is intended to flag
machines which are swapping.
Arguably, we should make this a symlink, but it's probably a good idea
to have every change in the production Nagios configuration go through
the zulip-puppet-apply diff experience.
This code empirically doesn't work. It's not entirely clear why, even
having done quite a bit of debugging; partly because the code is quite
convoluted, and because it shows the symptoms of people making changes
over time without really understanding how it was supposed to work.
Moreover, this code targets an old version of the APNs provider API.
Apple deprecated that in 2015, in favor of a shiny new one which uses
HTTP/2 to meet the same needs for concurrency and scale that the old
one had to do a bunch of ad-hoc protocol design for.
So, rip this code out. We'll build a pathway to the new API from
scratch; it's not that complicated.
This causes `upgrade-zulip-from-git`, as well as a no-option run of
`tools/build-release-tarball`, to produce a Zulip install running
Python 3, rather than Python 2. In particular this means that the
virtualenv we create, in which all application code runs, is Python 3.
One shebang line, on `zulip-ec2-configure-interfaces`, explicitly
keeps Python 2, and at least one external ops script, `wal-e`, also
still runs on Python 2. See discussion on the respective previous
commits that made those explicit. There may also be some other
third-party scripts we use, outside of this source tree and running
outside our virtualenv, that still run on Python 2.
On `trusty` there is no package for `boto` or `gevent` on Python 3, both
of which are dependencies of `wal-e` (at the version we've pinned.) This
is something used only on database servers and only in a replication
scenario, and it doesn't involve any of our code outside the wal-e repo,
so the Python version it uses is quite independent of the Zulip
application server itself and the rest of our code. For now, keep it
explicitly on Python 2 while we move forward for most everything else.
This script in `zulip_ops` is handy for managing EC2 instances. It uses
`boto`, which isn't available in `trusty` for Python 3. The use of
`boto` here isn't particularly deep, so we could replace it with some
more manual HTTP calls if it comes to that. For now, just mark it to
stay on Python 2 while we move the app and all the rest of the ops code
(except this and another straggler or two) to Python 3.
Also make a comment on this package in the Puppet manifest clearer
about what it specifically refers to.
This consists of the `zulip_ops::stats` Puppet class, which has apparently
not been used since 2014, and a number of files that I believe were
only used for that. Also a couple of tiny loose ends in other files.
This is only actually used in our `wal-e` setup, which is in
zulip_ops::postgres_common. (In fact the only mentions of `gevent` in
our whole Git history are for `wal-e`.) So remove where we mention it
on the broader zulip::postgres_common module, and move it where it's
needed.
This follows up on 98cef0ab4 by eliminating the only dependency
outside of the `zulip_ops` Puppet tree on a system Python-library
package which isn't available in `trusty` for Python 3.
In some of these contexts, we may still be *using* the Python 2
version, but at least this should eliminate running into
`ImportError`s one by one in scripts that run outside a virtualenv,
as we update their shebangs to refer to Python 3.
Several Python libraries we use don't come in Python 3 versions on
trusty: gevent, boto, twisted, django, django-tagging, whisper.
The latter two don't come in Python 3 versions even on xenial.
So some work required before we can actually switch the code that
relies on those libraries to run as Python 3 -- probably the best
solution will be to backport them all in our apt repo. (All but
`whisper` are packaged in zesty; `whisper` upstream just grew Python 3
support this year.)
These are no longer useful, with our spiffy new analytics framework,
and we haven't in fact been using them for some time, while the
`active-user-stats` cron job does cause regular mail from cron.
Just delete them.
Also puts them into a processing queue, though the queue processor
does nothing.
Rewritten by tabbott to avoid unnecessary database queries in
do_send_messages.
- Add new 'missedmessage_email_senders' queue for sending missed messages emails.
- Add the new worker to process 'missedmessage_email_senders' queue.
- Split aggregation missed messages and sending missed messages email
to separate queue workers.
- Adapt tests for sending missed emails to the new logic.
Fixes#2607
Since browser clients send messages via websockets and not the API,
this is an important element in making sure mission-critical Zulip
functionality is working.
I'm not altogether happy with this (a better solution would be
database-level locking), but I think it solves the immediate problem
of folks with 2 servers being very likely to run analytics on both of
them.
The old zulip_ops Nagios configuration depended on Nagios having the
ability to login as the zulip user (with essentially full write
access); this configuration is helpful for limiting nagios to special
"nagios" user with more limited credentials.
